In the SIR, the FBI quotes social media postings, such as: “Baton Rouge Purge starts July 9 12 am end 5 am July 10” and “Rule 1: Kill Every Police. Copy and Paste so no one in your family be purge.”

Judicial Watch, the Washington-based government watchdog received a copy of the SIR and according to their website, both the FBI and the Louisiana State Police refused to comment or acknowledge the alert memo.
